Ein besondere Benefit für die Betreiber großer Suchmaschinen und Portale liegt insbesondere darin, das die Hauptprobleme und Gefahren durch jugendgefährdenden und/oder pornografischen und extremistischen Content, die für die Betreiber entstehen, völlig ausgeschlossen werden.

Does my translation mean the same??? Any sugestions? (This bad-written text is killing me)

A very special benefit for big search engine and portal providers is in particular the total exclusion of the main problems for and dangers to them: youth imperilling and/or pronografic and extremist content.

Explanation:
Yes, you're right, jerb, there are quite a few problems with your rendition. Here's how I'd do it.

A special benefit for operators of large search engines and portals is that the main problems and risks caused by content that is harmful to youth and/or is of a pornographic and extremist nature are completely excluded.

agree Derek Gill Franßen: Yes, you covered most of the 'Haken' - maybe "particular" instead of "special" (and taking the place of both 'besondere' words). ;-)

  -> Yes, good suggestion. I also considered that "die für Betreiber entstehen" is redundant.

agree xxxRomEst: "the problems and risks" are clear related to "the providers", showing clear the "benefit" for the providers. "Advantage" seems to me too commercial. And I'd say "content that is harmful to youth and/or pornographic and extremist".
